- Questionwhere does bluestacks installer locate
How.com.vn Staff EditorThis answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Staff AnswerHow.com.vn Staff EditorStaff AnswerThe installer should default to download in your downloads folder. If you can't find it there or you changed the default download location and can't find it, you can search your File Explorer by typing in "BlueStacks" in the search field in the top right corner of your File Explorer. Using a Mac, search "BlueStacks" in Spotlight. - QuestionWhat if you want to install Whatsapp? Do we have to use BlueStacks?
DarkWolf2244Community AnswerNo, that's not necessary. WhatsApp can be accessed on a computer through WhatsApp Web, where you scan a code to connect your smartphone to your computer, or through the WhatsApp desktop app.
